Student Suspended For Gadsden Flag

The flag is named for Christopher Gadsden, a South Carolina delegate to the Continental Congress and brigadier general in the Continental Army[4][5] who designed the flag in 1775 during the American Revolution.[6] He gave the flag to Commodore Esek Hopkins, and it was unfurled on the main mast of Hopkins' flagship USS Alfred on December 20, 1775.[5][7] Two days later, Congress made Hopkins commander-in-chief of the Continental Navy.[8] He adopted the Gadsden banner as his personal flag, flying it from the mainmast of the flagship while he was aboard.[5] The Continental Marines also flew the flag during the early part of the war.[6]


The term “Gadsden flag” was trending on X earlier on Tuesday as a video spread of a school administrator explaining to a mother and her son that her son could not return to class unless he left his backpack, which had a Gadsden flag patch on it, behind.

“The reason we do not want the flag displayed is due to its origins with slavery and the slave trade,” the administrator tells the mother.


An apparent internal FBI document that leaked Tuesday lists the Betsy Ross American flag, the Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flag, symbols of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, and other imagery as symbols of “Militia Violent Extremists” or MVEs.

The purported FBI documents were published by the undercover journalism organization Project Veritas, which said it obtained the document from a whistleblower in the FBI.


Comment:
The Biden's highly politicized DOJ is an extension of the corrupt far-left extremist Democrat Party.
The Democrat Party is the party of slavery, Jim Crow, hate and racism.
Joe Biden is a racist segregationist.
The Democrat Party is affiliated with violent hate groups such as the Klan, Nation of Islam, Antifa and BLM.
All of the Dem flags should be banned.
BLM violence has killed dozens of people and caused $billions$ of dollars in damages.
BLM symbols should be banned.

These "educators" say it's racist. What do you say?
I say:

The 1st Amendment does not end at the schoolhouse gate. If the patch is not disruptive to the educational environment (that means actual disruption, not guesstimated disruption by some Snowflake), then it is a violation of the student's Constitutional rights to not permit it.

The kids are currently studying the Revolutionary War. Here is some background on this so-called racist flag....

The flag is named for Christopher Gadsden, a South Carolina delegate to the Continental Congress and brigadier general in the Continental Army who designed the flag in 1775 during the American Revolution. He gave the flag to Commodore Esek Hopkins, and it was unfurled on the main mast of Hopkins' flagship USS Alfred on December 20, 1775. Two days later, Congress made Hopkins commander-in-chief of the Continental Navy. He adopted the Gadsden banner as his personal flag, flying it from the mainmast of the flagship while he was aboard. The Continental Marines also flew the flag during the early part of the war.

The rattlesnake was a symbol of the unity of the Thirteen Colonies at the start of the Revolutionary War, and it had a long history as a political symbol in America. Benjamin Franklin used it for his Join, or Die woodcut in 1754. Gadsden intended his flag as a warning to Britain not to violate the liberties of its American subjects.

The flag has been described as the "most popular symbol of the American revolution." Its design proclaims an assertive warning of vigilance and willingness to act in defense against coercion. This has led it to be associated with the ideas of individualism and liberty. It is often used in the United States as a symbol for right-libertarianism, classical liberalism, and small government; for distrust or defiance against authorities and government.

Other children are allowed to wear patches of their choice. This kid is being singled out for political reasons. It is unlawful.

Here is video with the school administrator which the kid's mother wisely recorded...



After they take the 1st Amendment, they will come for the rest of them, and we will not be able to say anything about it.
